God Our Father

Consider why every human on earth should honor God and serve him with all their heart, mind and soul. The tragedy is that most will leave this world never recognizing him as their Heavenly Father. They will never be his children. They will never accept the fact of who he is. Why should we become children of God? “God is still the most important, most valuable, most satisfying, and, therefore, most relevant reality in the world.” John Piper

A number of things occur when you become God’s child. A child of God has a place in his heaven. A child of God will live in God’s house forever. A child of God becomes an heir to all that God has. A child of God will become perfect: a perfect mind, a perfect body, perfect knowledge, and perfectly holy. When God’s child leaves this world and goes to heaven he or she will have absolutely no flaws. But even before his child leaves this earth God looks at him and sees the righteousness of Jesus in him. God is proud of his children. I think God says of his child, “That’s my boy. That’s my girl. I am well pleased in them.” Those of us who have believed in the name of Jesus and have trusted in him alone to save us are blessed far beyond what we can possibly understand in this world.

God has rewarded us for choosing to believe in the Jesus, the Light, who was sent to deliver everyone from the curse of darkness. Of course God knew that most would prefer to live in darkness although they were given the opportunity to come to the light. You know, that is very sad. All they need to do is believe in the name of Jesus to become children of God. The gospel message is amazing. I am amazed that God would want me as his child. What about you?
